Chapter 498 Shennong Descends! Plague Breaks Out!
The next moment, Pingxin didn't hesitate and waved his hand lightly.
Then, a true spirit that had been nurtured by it for a long time appeared.
This true spirit is the very same red cloud true spirit that Niu Ben brought back back then.
Under the nurturing care of Consort Pingxin, Hongyun's true spirit has grown much stronger than before, and a carefree figure can be vaguely seen sitting cross-legged within it.
After a brief look, Consort Pingxin spoke:
"Red Clouds".
Your time has come.
"In this cycle of reincarnation, I will be reborn as a human and attain the position of Earthly Sovereign!"
Go!
Upon hearing what Pingxin said, the figure within that ball of true spirit trembled slightly, as if it had heard Pingxin's words.
Then, Pingxin waved again.
Then, one could see that in the Six Paths of Reincarnation not far away, the light of humanity shone again.
Before sending Hongyun's true spirit into the human realm, Pingxin pointed her hand, and a mysterious light pierced straight into Hongyun's true spirit.
That was a seal, completely sealing away Hongyun's memories of her past life.
"The seal will be broken on the day you attain enlightenment."
He said calmly.
Then, with a wave of her wide sleeves, Hongyun's true spirit flew straight toward the passage of humanity.
……
Meanwhile, at Wanshou Mountain, Wuzhuang Temple.
Zhen Yuanzi sat upright under the ginseng fruit tree, meditating with his eyes closed.
He joined the human race a long time ago and helped them achieve many victories in the interdimensional war.
After joining forces with Huang Tian and other high-ranking members of the human race to create the Human Emperor Realm, Zhen Yuanzi would sometimes stay in the Human Emperor Realm, and sometimes return to Wuzhuang Temple for a period of time.

"Um?"
Suddenly, Zhen Yuanzi, whose eyes were tightly closed, opened them abruptly.
Then, his gaze suddenly shifted, looking directly at the human region, where he could feel the fluctuations in the human race's fortune.
"It seems that the second of humanity's Three Sovereigns is about to be born!"
"So many years have passed."
"Shouldn't it be my second brother's turn to be reincarnated soon?"
Zhen Yuanzi muttered to himself, his heart filled with anticipation.
……
On the other side, there is Penglai Immortal Island, where the main island is located.
"Oh?"
The Supreme Sage also sensed the unusual movement of the human race's fortune. After a quick calculation, he knew that the time had come for the second of the Three Sovereigns of the human race to descend.
After a moment's thought, he immediately transmitted his voice to his disciple Xuandu.
Soon, a figure appeared before the Supreme Being; who else could it be but Xuandu?
"Greetings, Master!"
Upon approaching, Xuandu hurriedly bowed to the Supreme Sage.
The Supreme Lord nodded, and Da Nan said:
"Xuan Du!"
"The second emperor of the human race is about to be born."
"This child will taste all kinds of herbs to heal the world's ailments, and is chosen by the Earthly Sovereign."
"Go and guide him!"
Upon hearing what the Supreme Sage said, a look of joy flashed in Xuandu's eyes, and he quickly bowed and accepted the order:
"Yes, Master!"
When Fuxi attained enlightenment, Nuwa, the sage who assisted him, received a great deal of merit.
Xuan Du naturally witnessed that scene as well.
Now, he has gone down the mountain to assist the second human emperor in attaining enlightenment. When the day comes that the emperor attains enlightenment, Xuandu will naturally also receive a lot of heavenly merits.
Xuan Du was naturally delighted to receive such a good job.
Then, Xuandu didn't linger. He bid farewell to the Supreme Sage and left Penglai Immortal Island to come to the human race.
……
On this day, the human tribe.
A newborn baby is crying loudly and energetically.
Outside the thatched hut, a large number of human beings had gathered.
Suddenly, a commotion arose in the void.
Upon seeing this, many human beings turned to look in the direction of the sound.
Upon closer inspection, a figure appeared—none other than Xuandu.
After leaving Penglai, Xuandu had been secretly waiting for the birth of this baby.
Upon seeing Xuandu appear, all the human beings present were shocked and immediately knelt down in worship.
"Greetings, Immortal!"
"Did the immortal descend upon our human race for the sake of this newborn?"
"There was an unusual phenomenon in the sky earlier, with purple energy stretching across the heavens, and this child was born shortly afterward. He must be someone destined for greatness!"
"..."
Many human beings sighed with emotion.
Xuan Du didn't pay any attention to this. He smiled faintly, descended from the clouds, and followed him into the house.
Upon seeing Xuandu arrive, the human couple hurriedly knelt down.
Xuan Du raised his hand in a gesture of support, then turned his gaze to the infant, and slowly said:
"This child doesn't have a name yet?"
Upon hearing this, the couple shook their heads.
Xuan Du pondered for a moment, then said:
"In that case, let's call him... Shennong!"
"Shennong... Shennong..."
The couple murmured their gratitude, their eyes filled with thanks, and quickly bowed to Xuandu.
"Thank you, immortal, for bestowing this name upon me!"
Xuan Du nodded slightly, smiled at the couple, and said:
"This child will surely achieve great things in the future."
"I will support him, but he has to walk his own path."
After saying this, Xuandu vanished in a flash.
……
Several years later, a great plague broke out among mankind.
It was an unprecedented and deadly disease that spread extremely quickly and had a very high mortality rate.
Countless humans succumbed to the disease and died, their corpses piled up like mountains, and cries of despair echoed across the land.
At this time, Shennong had already gained wisdom.
Watching his clansmen fall one by one, and seeing his parents struggle with illness, he was heartbroken but powerless to help.
He tried various herbs; some were ineffective, some could temporarily alleviate the symptoms, and some actually worsened the condition.
Shennong was also helpless about this, as he had no idea which one was correct.
Helpless, he could only try again and again, only to fail time and time again.
Just as Shennong was in despair, a sudden fluctuation occurred in the space-time around him.
Then, a figure appeared.
The person who arrived was none other than Xuandu.
"A sage!!"
Upon seeing Xuandu, Shennong was overjoyed, and hope rekindled in his eyes.
Xuan Du didn't seem to care about this and asked casually:
Shennong.
"What are your thoughts after witnessing all this in the world?"
Upon hearing Xuandu's question, Shennong paused for a moment, then knelt down with a thud, his voice choked with emotion, and said:
"Immortals above, I only hate my own powerlessness, unable to save my people, unable to save my parents!"
"Life is already difficult enough, and this outbreak of plague has only made things worse for people."
When Shennong said this, his eyes were filled with sorrow.
Xuandu stared intently at Shennong, then asked solemnly:
"Shennong, you know that such suffering exists in the world."
"Would you be willing to dedicate your entire life to this world?"
As soon as Xuandu uttered these words, Shennong paused for a moment, then slowly raised his head. His eyes were still wet with tears, but they shone with an unprecedented determination.
After a moment of silence, he responded:
"If it can save this world, I... I would gladly sacrifice myself!"
Upon hearing Shennong's reply, Xuandu smiled with satisfaction, nodded slightly, and pointed with his hand.
Then, a beam of light pierced straight into Shennong's brow.
